Yeah but PayPal's awful. They literally arbitrarily deny you access to your own funds. At least the banks have rules.

If someone wants to pay me something they can use it literally anything other than PayPal. I don't trust them they've stolen money from me before.

Same. They stole a small amount (~10 USD), but at that time that was 2-3 days worth of groceries where I live (which would have helped a lot)

they've actually paid me after I was scammed by fake stock broker. without fussing about it too. Really easy to get payments reversed.

Either way I’d be happy to also switch to another method of payment if it were an option.

Yeah because in your case they didn't have your money. They're only real pain about trying to get money back, they always support businesses never customers.

So if I pay for a product and never receive it PayPal always takes the business's side.

Even Amazon has better customer support.
